Simon Willison's release on June 15 adds an execute_write_sql tool that only runs with explicit user sign-off. Small change, important pattern. As agents touch more production data, the approval gate on write operations stops being optional. This is a clean reference design to copy when your agent needs to mutate state someone cares about.
